The next Chainsaw Man anime is officially titled Assassins Arc. The project was announced at Jump Festa 2026 in December 2025. Its first teaser and promotional visual introduced the assassins targeting Denji after the events of the Reze Arc movie.
Where the Reze movie fits
The Reze Arc movie continues the story of the 2022 TV anime. Assassins Arc picks up after the movie and shifts the focus to the hunt for Denji. If you’ve only watched the TV series, the Reze movie is the next stop before the new anime.
The second teaser shows the assassins on the move
MAPPA debuted the new teaser at its 15th anniversary lineup showcase on June 19, 2026. The clip introduces new faces alongside the assassins hunting Denji. A broadcast date for Assassins Arc has yet to be announced.
The announcement visual brought several of Denji’s pursuers together in one image. The June teaser shows them on the move and broadens the cast around him. Both previews set up the hunt for his heart and leave the details of how it unfolds to the anime.
